Our assessment
The evidence shows that Bodybuilding.com Signature Amino Plus Energy Green Apple is a supplement containing calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, you should be aware of specific risks and interactions before using this product. Data on the specific formulation is limited, so we must rely on the calcium component for safety guidance [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium is a critical mineral for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a building block for your skeleton and a regulator for your muscle and nerve function.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. For calcium specifically, side effects from high levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, and abnormal heart rhythms. High calcium intakes might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these, take this supplement at a different time of day. Data on the specific benefits of this product for energy or amino acids is not available. We recommend consulting your doctor before starting this supplement, especially if you have kidney issues or take medication [NIH ODS].
